“We wanted to show ourselves that Hanover Park’s style is alive and we wanted to go hard and keep the pressure on all of the time,” Robertson said. “We treated this like a duel meet. We went for the fall and stayed off of our backs.”

Roberston was one of those who won by fall in the final round as he flattened Roselle Park’s Bobby Vail in 2:12 to win his third Roselle Park title. Robertson had two first-period takedowns to take a 4-1 lead before throwing Vail to his back for the fall.

Hanover teammates Angelo Cefolo (106) and Gene Angelo (113) also won by pin. Cefolo, who was fifth at the season-opening Beast of the East last week, was winning 11-1 when he pinned Morristown’s Derek Campbell in 3:25.

Angelo needed 1:50 to beat Morristown’s Declan Patterson.

“Gene Angelo lost his first three matches this year but he won three straight here today,” Hanover coach Dave Ryerson said. “He’s more aggressive in practice and he is wrestling within himself. Cefolo is very polished and he did what was expected of him. He just continues to improve.

“We’re really pleased with Kyle Robertson. He is the emotional leader of the team and he is wrestling very well.”

Morristown’s Desmond Towns (152), a 2011 state qualifier, outlasted Madison’s Pete Willis in the finals, 3-2. Towns’ first-period takedown was the difference. Willis escaped in the third period but Towns continually fended off Willis’ shots in the third period.

“Desmond got off to a late start this year,” Colonials coach Brian Young said. “He had the lead in our school play ‘Fame’ and he is working his way back into shape. My philosophy is to slowly improve and then peak in March and that is what we’re after. Desmond is getting better every time out. That is all I am looking for.

“Our goal is for him to get to Boardwalk Hall again but that is a long way off and he has a lot to accomplish before then in the conference and in the county. That is our focus right now.”

Madison, meanwhile, saw 126-pound Patsy Davis defeat Hanover’s Gennaro Cuccolo in the finals, 3-0, in a battle of two of Morris County’s best at that weight.

After the two were scoreless after one period, Davis rode Cuccolo for the entire second period and, in the third period, Davis escaped to take the lead for good early in the period. With about 10 seconds left, Davis countered a Cuccolo shot to ice the win. The two will likely go at it again in a duel on Jan. 4.

“The match today was pretty even,” Dodgers coach Steve Healey said. “Patsy did what he had to do. He needs to open up more, but he beat a good kid in Cuccolo”
